John 11:20-49

²⁰Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.

²¹Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

²²But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

²³Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.

²⁴Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.

²⁵Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:

²⁶And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?

²⁷She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.

²⁸And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.

²⁹She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.

³⁰For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.

³¹The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.

³²When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

³³Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,

³⁴And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.

³⁵And Jesus wept.

³⁶The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.

³⁷But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?

³⁸Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.

³⁹Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?

⁴¹They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.

⁴²And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

⁴³When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.

⁴⁴And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.

⁴⁵Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.

⁴⁶But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.

⁴⁷The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?

⁴⁸If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.

⁴⁹But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.
